Hey you drop this 👑

[@Th3-Mast3rmind]

Not the hero we want, but the hero we need

[@FizziiDx]

To this day Looney Toons - Sheep Raider is one of the most thought provoking video games I have ever played. The visuals were gorgeous and the level progression required so much critical thinking, this is my first time seeing it represented in a PSX list. Such an underrated game.

[@Azizi1163]

yea me to, its a great game and a hard one too especially if ur a 10 year old kid when i was playing it the first time :D

[@anthonyhollywood2828]

I remember having a blast playing looney tunes there was so much to do in it it was a long and sometimes hard game with a good story unlike games today they are pure trash they could learn a thing or 2 from psx games but they are too dumb

[@imraneyubov1]

that game is wesome ost is also great

[@i_am_dementia9926]

I've heard nothing but positive things about this game. I'll give it a try

[@NateApplicable]

@@anthonyhollywood2828 I understand you're just feeling nostalgic but saying all games nowadays are trash is incredibly wrong

I was expecting to see some titles I have forgotten that have been bugging me for the longest time... This list, did not disappoint.

[@SonuKumar-ko9js]

By ch CD fy4

[@SpikeSpiegelSpacecowboy]

Thanks for uploading this video. Ps1 gave me really good memories. Silent Bomber, Bloody Roar and Crisis Beat were some of my fav games

[@_Jo_C_]

Geez silent bomber! That game was mind blowing

[@wishiwassleeping8382]

I loved Bloody Roar back in the day

[@JoaoAgile]

This video basically sums up why I love the PlayStation.

[@wileyschmitt]

And though most of these games are good, still only a few of them would crack the PS1's top 100 games list. The Super Nintendo/Famicom and PS1 to me is a toss up for best system ever.

[@ajsingh4545]

I looked these games up and lot of them got mixed reviews, even from back in the day. I picked out some of the best one that narrows it down to less than 100. Def not underrated titles. There is a reasons they are obscure and def not the better of PS1.

[@wileyschmitt]

@@davidaitken8503 For a debut system the PS1 did a pretty damn good job, and the game library is massive, but the Super Famicom is better, but for me they're equal simply because of the RPGs.

[@Timmymasu]

I agree. But i stray from the PS3

[@nonyabizz9390]

#36, Evil Zone. A fighting game that used ONE button. Triangle was every attack! And it was genius. Best $5 I ever spent. Got it at Media Play when they were going out of business! #53 Jade Cocoon was also great. Never got far (someone "borrowed" my copy a week after I bought it!) but I loved what I saw. And #93! Trap Gunner! I was actually worried the list would miss it! This game was a blast! I've always preferred single player games, and this was one of the few multi-player games I would break out and play with friends.

[@dragonbaka1]

I thought Im the only one I know that liked evilzone :D now I know most of peepz really loved that game

[@MezzoForte4]

I got Evil Zone for free. It's a goofy ass game but it's so fun.

[@ulyx9804]

Similar to Smash bros. It was made to have 2 buttons that control every move in combo with a directional button.

[@MauZangetsu]

2:51 SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS DRAGON VALOR, IT HAS BEEN YEARS BUT SOMEONE REMEMBERS IT

[@igorbilbija6593]

My all-time favourite game! Still have an original copy and play it from time to time. Shame it didn't get the credit it deserved and we didn't get a sequel or a spiritual successor.

[@friedmanok5528]

:31 Battle Hunter. My brothers and I used to play these game. Glad to see that other people also plays this.

[@dastanbastan9621]

I still can't believe that people does not realizing just how advanced the graphics in Evil Zone and Kensei Sacred Fist is compare to like 98% other PS1 games.

[@RKNELIAS]

yeeah but evil zone gets boring really fast.

[@TheKrisRose]

Not really,evil zone had one of the most well done story mode ever...dub aside,this game came out before the craze for anime in the 90's early 00's..and it had everything you wanted as a kid..spectacular moves,cool looking chars and cheesy dialogues..

[@aignatiusamo4257]

Evil zone rocks, it my time its graphics were awesome

[@MezzoForte4]

I won a gift card at a local game shop and I bought Evil Zone, only knowing about the funny dubbing. My face melted at how 90s the story mode was, became an instant hit with me. It's so goofy.

[@nancestpasmoi1834]

it was the first game to had the cinematic of the ultimate attack change when beat the ennemy

[@FossiMatteo]

Love to see Herc’s Adventures, Sheep Dog and Motor Toon Grand Prix. Games I would mention: The Raiden Project, T’ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger, Street Racer and Jumping Flash

[@filiberto9729]

Oh men, T'ai Fu great memories I played a lot in my childhood.

[@MihzvolWuriar]

Played a lot of these, still have most of then, Wargames Defcon 1, Bust a Groove, Speed Punks, Rosco McQueen, but hey, where's G-Police? It's the best PS1 game for me, and it's very little known, if there's an underrated game in PS1, that's the one

[@machomanOOOOHYEEEAH]

Some magnificent titles in here, a few of them I'm very proud to say I owned

[@nomadicmonkey3186]

03:54 OMG I finally obtained the Holy Grail of my childhood gaming memories I've sought for years... So it's called Future Cop LAPD! I was looking for this title for quite a long time to no avail. In my country this game is so obscure that I've never heard anybody talk about it online or IRL, and I actually didn't buy it either as I played this on a demo disc I used to have as a child but never got around to buying the product. I even forgot the title, all I had was some vague impressions of gameplay like it was an isometric shooter involving walking mechs, counter-terrorist force and stuff. Despite having never bought it then somehow I grew more and more curious about it years later but haven't been able to find any information of it. I'm really glad I stumbled upon this video. Thanks a lot!

[@techsequence1195]

One time I bought Future Cop L.A.P.D (#40) after playing the demo. This game was awesome and still would recommend it (campaign / co-op as well as well-designed VS mode which could last for an hour). True challenging masterpiece. To this list I would add Soviet Strike. You had to make strategic choices during the missions, eg. if going back for few fuel tanks / ammo was necessary risking urgent hostage rescue. The real time mission cut-scenes depending on your actions made the blood pumping.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Agreed on both counts!

[@zerocal76]

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this man! I prefer old school games, really appreciate it!

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Thanks for watching!

You made me remember games that I had long forgotten!

[@retrosoul8770]

Coming from your other 100 PS1 games video I forgot how many great obscure games the system had, just amazing.

[@numaorus]

I spent a lot of my childhood on Battle Hunter. I still break it out once in a while, I'd love to see a sequel.

[@shanesimmons3989]

I genuinely thought I was the only person who ever played it.

[@numaorus]

@@shanesimmons3989 my guy, it's a gem. I'm lucky to have played it, and I wanna see it come back someday.

[@Th3-Mast3rmind]

C-12 and Blaster Master brought so much memories 😭 I want my childhood back

[@Kalebent]

8:10 Soul of the Samurai was an amazing game. It had such an awesome soundtrack and gameplay. I wish it were remastered for this gen.

[@adityapratama287]

Panzer Bandit, Tronbonne, Shipwreck, Trap Gunner, Silent bomber, soul of samurai. Love it. U must include brave fencer mushashi

[@vangazon]

Wow. So many great games here. I had a lot of ps1 games probably over 200 back in the days and still happy to see that I owned 3 out of 100 of these games. I beat Strikers 1945 2 but failed to beat C12 Final Resistance and Castlevania.. I also remember skipping school to play Future Cop and PanzerBandit with my best bud.. I hope you make part 2 of this. i would love to add Nuclear Dawn and Brave Fencer Musashi though I'm not sure if they are rare or not.

[@dimasherisuroso]

Oh my god, bishi bashi special. True gem

[@pandugumelar4814]

You mean true controller breaker

[@projetoventura]

That one "Trap Gunner" stands easily on my top 10 for best ps1 games

[@volcanickjoe08]

I looooove Trap Gunner. I´ve never seen anything like that anymore.

[@R0n1n760]

WOW.. the games I found on this list that I wanted are actually very pricey :( . Awesome video as always! So I've always wondered, do you play all these and record a piece of each game?!? If so you must have a huuge collection that is pretty EPIC

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Yes, in 99% of these cases, either myself or one of my team is playing these - and we are capturing these ourselves. So, most of the time, when you see that awful gameplay? Yep, that's me. I don't actually own most of them personally; I am fortunate to have some very well stocked collectors in my social circle that are able to provide me with many of the rarer titles!

[@sad_doggo2504]

Wow I can't believe I was actually able to find the name of the game I was looking for on this list! Good video

[@antistiolabeo8950]

As soon as I saw Alien Resurrection in the beginning I knew this would be a nice list. Criminally underrated horror sci-fi game. Still one of the scariest I played.

[@ImhotepVII648]

Finally, someone mentioned "Silent Bomber & C-12"!!

[@RKNELIAS]

Fantastic games both.

[@animablu1296]

Gary,many compliments for your videos:i always have good time.But i think,they need one more second,between one videogame,and the other,to appreciate them completely.Thank you,have a good day.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

+Gandalf Il Grigio Thanks for the kind words and feedback! A few others have said the same thing - that 6 seconds is not enough; the problem is that I work in 10 minutes pieces. Most of my viewers are people who prefer a 10 minute maximum. Having said that, I recently posted a "Top 50 N64 In 10 Minutes" which means I doubled the time to a generous 12 seconds per video! Please check it out and let me know if you prefer this

[@blaster5800]

This is literally THE BEST "hidden gems" video for the Ps1 I have ever seen. Almost every title is an awesome game

[@rizkaarifiandi5670]

while i would add some of my own hidden gems like Vanguard Bandit, Chocobo Racing, Front Mission 2, Meltylancer etc this list doesnt dissapoint 👍

[@ElSoloNoco]

Another fantastic list Gary 😄 fun fact, Alien Resurrection was the first game to use what have now become modern FPS controls, it's a history book of a game for the genre, I've owned it for a decade and still never completed it, PS1 games are tough 😭

[@GaryRetroGamer]

Sadly, Alien Resurrection came out late in the PS1's life cycle -so it didn't get much press. I loved it - it was genuinely scary, too. One of the most graphically impressive PS1 games!

[@ElSoloNoco]

@@GaryRetroGamer I agree, definitely scary! I loved Alien Trilogy on PS1 too, man that game is one of my favourites of all time! I definitely need to get around to completing Resurrection sooner or later though..

[@leandrojose3887]

Nice lista!Good work!

[@BetoDrummaster]

amazing list as always! thanks!

[@FajriSuryaPutra]

And here I am, a veteran gamer from 90's but I only knew 4 or 6 title in this video... Heck... It's time to turn that old PSX on

[@GaryRetroGamer]

I thought the same thing; I thought I was a well informed gamer in the 90s - read all the magazines, played all the top games. But when researching the games for the video, I was like "I missed out!". I think that's more of the impact of marketing. If I played/purchased a game, it was because I had read about it in a magazine (or early gaming website), and the only way for that to happen was for the game company to invest in the marketing. It's not surprising then, that many of these games had little to no marketing budget - which means I probably wouldn't have heard of them. A real shame for some of these titles.

[@vaderqwertz1167]

Future cop lapd❤️❤️ i played it soooo often as a child with my Suhl ngs and now with almost 30 in my modded PS Vita again 🔥

[@musashyragehowl9897]

[@danieljohnson6450]

evil zone is still my fav fighter of all time. its always amazed me how few people played/owend it growing up.

[@piratax64]

what emulator used for this video? good video.

[@DeltathRiylaan]

Team Buddies was one of the best multiplayer games ever made. I'd love to see a sequel or remake on modern consoles.

[@raykelvin567]

@@davidaitken8503 thanks for the correction it was MONSTER RANCHER 3

[@_sstalker]

Threads of fate had a really catchy OST. Definitely one of my favorites games as a kid.

[@Verrskel]

Huh, I did play a fair share of those, though I guess I also didn't get a chance to play too many of the better known games, so I dunno how to feel about that. Could only look at 'em in the review magazines (which I still happen to have). Still, good times, a lot of nostalgia. Thank you for the video.

[@dutchweeks1]

Dude, MANY of these are well known (not hidden) or expensive (not underrated); othern that I appreciate the list.

[@GaryRetroGamer]

You raise an excellent point that I struggle with when making these "hidden gem" videos; exactly what is a "hidden gem"? Who decides what is "lesser known"? To a PlayStation expert with a great amount of knowledge (clearly, you do!) - most of these *are* well known. So, this video, then is aimed at more casual PS1 gamers who are just looking to expand their knowledge - or to experts such as yourself who can test their knowledge. The rough rule of thumb I used was this: if I and a bunch of my PlayStation-owning friends had never heard or only vaguely heard of the game, or the game had terribly low sales - or was exclusive to Japan - it went onto the list for consideration. Also, regarding cost: generally. the more expensive games are expensive because they didn't sell well at the time of the release - which resulted in fewer copies being printed, making them rare. So to a collector they would be well known; but to a casual PS1 owner, they would not have heard of it! Thanks for the comment!
